Dearadh Oscailte Abú! (Open Design Forever!)
fedoraproject.org banners The content area on fedoraproject.org right now is not that blingy. Due to particular bandwidth issues, we put small screenshots up that are less interesting than they could be if they were a bit larger. Here’s an idea for a replacement; I think it would be cool to have large banners like gnome.org: …
Just a quick banner design. Crack open the SVG and you can replace the text with any name you’d like. The background was done using the new 3D box tool (a Google Summer of Code project by Maximilian Albert) in the Inkscape .46 preview, now packaged in the devel repo by lkundrak (who is quickly …
Thanks to everybody who helped me out with the poster design here in my blog and in fedora-marketing-list. I think this cut is pretty good so if you are willing to translate the poster into another language or if you would simply like to have it printed up, it’s ready now: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/MarketingCollateral
Well, due to popular demand, I decided to try my hand at creating a screencast tutorial on how to make the sulphur crystals I made for some of the F9 theme mockups and F9 alpha banners. I hope you enjoy it, let me know if you have any questions about it. I created the video …
Hello! So, Joerg Simon pointed out to me that we have a need for general-purpose, reusable designs for Fedora posters that can be used at many different events / during different releases of Fedora (so no event-specific release-specific feature-specific etc. notes on them.) This is my first draft at an attempt at this. It is …

For various reasons the Fedora art team has decided to push back the deadline for round 2 theme submissions to February 12, one week back from the original due date of February 5th (today.) We are hopeful that the extra week will give folks the time they need to get their submissions ready. Want to …
Hey, just a quick note that I’m trying to use duffy at fedoraproject.org as my main email address. Traditionally I have used my redhat.com email address for Fedora-related stuff but I’m trying to separate the two now so it’s easier for me to access Fedora-related emails.
Max started the conversation, and Nicu set up a wiki page for us to organize our ideas and designs for various Fedora T-shirts. The major shirt designs under discussion are: General-purpose “Fedora” T-shirt FUDCon Boston 2008 T-shirt Fedora @ LinuxTag Berlin T-shirt (maybe) Fedora 9 Theme T-shirt One of Nicu’s general Fedora T designs: If …
I disappeared for a while; I was in Ireland for the past week or so and unfortunately didn’t have any internet access. I have a huge backlog of emails and such to go through so if I haven’t gotten back to you by the end of this weekend please feel free to re-ping me!
